Chapter 817 The Orphanage

Although Catherine knew no one was following her, for safety’s sake, she circled the house a few more times before finally entering Connie’s place. As she rhythmically tapped the door, Zobber received the signal and rushed to open it.

“Catherine, you’re finally here!” Before the door was fully open, Zobber’s excited voice came through.

Zobber took the initiative to apologize, “Catherine, I’ll stop messing around. Let’s get to business.” After helping Catherine sit, Zobber playfully kicked Withal’s thigh. “Get moving!”
